This also included a short break for refreshments. The cycle paths are quite extensive but you are sharing them with pedestrians and dog walkers. However this all adds to the fun. I would highly recommend this tour as an insightful means of seeing a large area in a short time. Thanks to Franco for guidance and information about Estepona and the local environment.”
